Rear Super Bumps from @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc installed. Doing the fronts this weekend when I adjust my front coilovers.

Discovered while camping last weekend that my led bed lights weren't working. Found the ground wire damaged while under the truck and repaired that while I was at it.

I put 2 of these, one on each side of the emblem. Be careful of the red, you might get pulled over. I used to have a blue in the scoop.

Anyhow, did this today. I've never really posted here about MY time with this truck, so here goes...

I bought it in Feb. of '17 with 11,xxx on her...I'm assuming PO was a guy that sat around the house and drove to McDonalds once a week for coffee. (nothing wrong with that, I hope to be there someday myself lol).

So since I've had it, there hasn't been much other than oil changes every 3-5K, top off everything else, air in the tires, etc. Next weekend, weather permitting, will be front/rear/transfer case/spark plugs/wheel bearings/brake rotors and pads...fingers crossed it don't rain all fuckin day....or week....or month...or the rest of my damn life (I'm in southern IL...we've had a little rain lately ) . I know a lot of it should have been done several times before, but life gets in the way sometimes and before ya know it, you got 100K staring you in the face.

Speaking of the tires....I'm guessing they're factory originals, but they have at least 89K on them (maybe the full 100K) and still don't look that bad. Don't get me wrong, I know they won't make another 100K or anything...and I've got their replacements with 3rd gen sport rims sitting here waiting, but I don't think I've ever had any tire last 89 or 100K before. And I don't mind running the ones I have out a few more miles knowing I have 4 brand new ones on deck and ready to go.

Anyhow....what else....what else.......removed the skid plate. Just didn't like the look with the MGM. Removed the bug shield. Added a hard tri-fold cover to the bed, but wasn't fond of the stupid "cam-lock" things to keep it closed, so I made some similar to a house door latch on both sides. I'll get some pictures sometime...it's hard to describe. Added a pop-n-lock about the same time as the cover...not a big fan...it don't feel right, even after I've lubed the hell out of it. Probably going to go "homemade" electric lock, but just haven't got around to it yet.

Few little odds and ends...red plastidip on the front emblem, then decided that looks like rudolph the red nosed fuckin reindeer coming down the street, so I either had to add more or peel that shit off..............so the next day ... I have the grill off and all masked up to do the center "fins", just left and right from the emblem. Still not enough, so a couple days later I have the scoop insert out doing it, and the little useless hockey stick shaped trim around the headlights. Then bought some honeycomb plastic trim and made a piece for the lower...."grill"??....the lower hole anyway, below the grill, and it's red and in place now. I'll try to get a picture of that too sometime and add it here.

I think that's about it. Few other plans, but nothing major. Mostly just plan to upgrade beyond factory on some maintenance items as they come up (shocks/coilovers to name a couple). It's my DD...only way to work, so that has to come first...can't afford to use it for play (at least not HARD play) and then be on foot.

And it's my intention to keep up better on the 30K maintenance (front/rear/tranfer/transmission/sparks/etc), but like I said....sometimes life gets in the way, and there ya are at another 100K...but I'm gonna try.

Thanks for listening .

^^ Self quote, update....

Not just today, but the past 3 days..........

Tuesday - Changed the rear diff fluid and transfer case fluid.

Wednesay - Changed front diff fluid....damn that's a pain in the ass. Next time, I'll have a funnel and a hose ready to fill from top side.

Today - Changed the spark plugs. Drivers side first...get it outta the way. I thought the first one was going to bind up after I broke it loose, but I just kept goin...SLOOOOOOWWWWWWWLLLLYYYY, and it finally got easier and easier and came right out. All 6 were about the same, come to find out.

I have one question about the spark plug job.......why in the HELL can't there be an air box on the driver side too? . Left side, easy....driver side, pain in the ass...hoses and brackets and SHIT....hands scratched to hell.

Anyhow, it's done. Saturday is brakes for sure and wheel bearings unless they are just dead quiet and zero play. If they are, then I'll save the set I have for another 50,000 (or whatever they last).

I didn't get the pictures yet, but I will.

Thanks for listening.....again
